Mount Canaan, Mountain summit in Upper Galilee, Israel.
Mount Canaan rises to 936 meters in elevation, forming a prominent natural landmark within the Mediterranean landscape of northern Israel.
The mountain shares its name with the ancient Canaanite civilization that inhabited the region during the late second millennium BCE alongside Egyptian and Hittite empires.
Multiple languages recognize this geographical feature differently, including Hebrew as Har Kena'an and Arabic as Jabal Canaan, reflecting the region's multicultural heritage.
Several hiking trails lead to the summit, offering access points from different directions and connecting to various points of interest in the Upper Galilee region.
The mountain contains remains of a large Middle Eastern crusader fortress, later modified by Mamluk leader Baibars who constructed a substantial tower on the site.
